Four apps (and a game!), designed for the small parts of your day that deserve better. Productivity-boosting. Eye-opening. Quietly fun.
Iris is the native Mac photo library that helps you find, explore, and rediscover the people, places, and moments you love — privately, on your own computer, with the smarts of a cloud service and none of the cost.
Faster than your IDE. Easier than the command line. A Swiss Army knife for plain text that is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t.
The instant audio switcher. Hop between your speakers, AirPods, and that one weird USB mic in a click.
Search and open your web bookmarks from anywhere on your Mac with a single hotkey. 100% keyboard-driven.
A casual daily puzzle game for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. Easy to learn, annoyingly hard to master.
I started Retina Studio in 2007 with one little web-dev app and a lot of optimism. Almost two decades later, it's still just me: designing the software, writing the code, answering the support email, and occasionally remembering to update the website.

Every app here is something I wanted on my own Mac first. If one of them is useful to you too, that genuinely makes my day.
